so i'm thinking about tearing my road king down and painting the frame/swingarm next winter

i'm currently blacking most everything out on the bike, and was thinking about painting the frame / swingarm a bright metallic orange

does anyone have a painted frame? or have pictures of a bike with a painted frame?

It's not orange...but it is powdercoated to match the paint.
- You'll notice the caliper is also color-matched.


I've since put chrome shocks on it too...makes a pretty big difference.

It's a REALLY ugly color.
You don't want to use it.
